Topic: Admin moderation of member profile updates/edits?

Is it possible through any native setting or current mod to require admin approval of member profile edits? I see the option "Can edit own profile" but I do not believe this does what I wish. I would like profile edits to be set to "pending" until an admin approves those edits. This would help eliminate members posting contact info into their profiles during an edit.

Thanks for any insight.

Yes, there is such option in CP->Settings-Member modules-Profiles-Deactivate profile on update.
Minus of this approach is that members got deactivated (and logged off system) when if they just edited their country or smoking preferences, which is always dropdown select predefined by admins.

I usually modify this approach to deactivate profile only when text, textareas changed.
And what is even better way just to send changes with profile link to Admin in background without deactivating member, so they didn't even notice that we know everything.

But above mentioned things need you to edit lib.account_profile.php which requires php knowledge.

Thank sounds like a great change. What chance is there that you could post the new code with instructions on where to put it?

Thanks

Great! Thanks for the pointer. I must say, short of a server stress test for concurrent logged in members (because I don't have enough members yet, just launched) this script seems very clean and solid. Well worth the money!
